Just wondering what others think EFFECTIVE region for autoguiding is in the fov vs t(Exposure) plane. Assuming you have good polar alignment , accurate tracking perhaps including PEC.


Anyone have thoughts on this (based on experience in their digital astrophotography) ?

The answer is quite simple, if you dont get nice round stars then you need to autoguide. Most people would autoguide I think.
